Book excerpt: Volume 2 of A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula brings to an end this collective work that aims at surveying the network of interliterary relations in the Iberian Peninsula. No attempt at such a comparative history of literatures in the Iberian Peninsula has been made until now. In this volume, the focus is placed on images (Section 1), genres (Section 2), forms of mediation (Section 3), and cultural studies and literary repertoires (Section 4). To these four sections an epilogue is added, in which specialists in literatures in the Iberian Peninsula, as well as in the (sub)disciplines of comparative history and comparative literary history, search for links between Volumes 1 and 2 from the point of view of general contributions to the field of Iberian comparative studies, and assess the entire project that now reaches completion with contributions from almost one hundred scholars.

Book excerpt: A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula is the second comparative history of a new subseries with a regional focus, published by the Coordinating Committe of the International Comparative Literature Association. As its predecessor for East-Central Europe, this two-volume history distances itself from traditional histories built around periods and movements, and explores, from a comparative viewpoint, a space considered to be a powerful symbol of inter-literary relations. Both the geographical pertinence and its symbolic condition are obviously discussed, when not even contested. --Book Jacket.

Book Synopsis The Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula Series by : John Benjamins Pub Co
Download or read book The Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula Series written by John Benjamins Pub Co and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 1514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1935 the Portuguese scholar Fidelino de Figueiredo published the book Pyrene as based in his lectures at Columbia University in 1931. In it, Figuereido makes use of the beautiful myth of Pyrene, a lover of Hercules, who created a tomb for her by piling up rocks, thus creating the mountain range of the Pyrenees. Pyrene was conceived as an introductory reflection on the main guidelines for a comparative history of Spanish and Portuguese literature, symbolically self-enclosed in the peninsula that the Pyrenees separate from the rest of continental Europe. Eighty years later, such a project has finally materialized in the two-volume A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula, the first transnational study of literatures in the region--not only Spanish-Castilian and Portuguese. Carried out by an international team of around 100 scholars from universities across the world, this history abandons a so-called chronologically organic and omniscient narrative and aims at analyzing some key examples which are especially illustrative of the interliterary and intercultural network within and beyond the Iberian Peninsula. In accordance with the geographical rationale of this history, its method has been figuratively thought of as geotechnical investigation, meaning that ten geoliterary samples have been obtained through the combination of three vertical and seven horizontal boreholes. Volume 1 (2010) includes two vertical boreholes--a discussion of the diachronical and metageographical construction of literary history in the Iberian Peninsula and the first attempt to build temporal frames for the Iberian interliterary network by proposing an "interperiodology"--and three horizontal boreholes. The first, "The Iberian Peninsula as a literary space", explores the metageographical continuity of literature throughout the region and challenges isolationist and reintegrationist projections (Iberianism, Lusism/Lusofonia and travel writing). The second, "Multilingualism and literature in the Iberian Peninsula", deals with literary languages, and the third, "Dimensions of orality" deals with oral literature. Volume 2 (2016) focuses on four further horizontal boreholes. The first one, "Images", shows that the Iberian Peninsula is a multipolar environment in which the Spanish-Castilian hegemon is deconstructed by the Others, who, at the same time, generate Others of their own. The second horizontal borehole is provided by genres, which show the rich circulation of literary forms within the Iberian Peninsula, as well as their successive changes through re-appropriations and re-definitions, not to mention those literary areas that remain alien to specific genres. The third horizontal borehole represents a step further in rewriting, for it focuses on several manifestations of what Lubomír Dolezel termed as "transduction", from translation proper to censorship. The fourth horizontal borehole, in turn, has a dual orientation, for it deals simultaneously with a discipline--cultural studies--and its object of research--popular culture--that traditionally lacks both a comparative method and an Iberian horizon. Volume 2 is brought to an end with the third vertical borehole, a sampling that this time is not applied to the object of study--literatures in the Iberian Peninsula--but to the narrative construction itself--this comparative history--in an exercise of self-awareness about the nature of comparative literary history as a form of discourse. Though, of course, these ten penetrations into the literary Iberian Peninsula belong to different categories, they nonetheless make it possible to obtain complementary, but also contradictory, pictures whose reading do not exhaust the limits of each theme, but encourages the reader to develop and practice her own boreholes.

Both the geographical pertinence and its symbolic condition are obviously discussed, when not even contested.Written by an international team of researchers who are specialists in the field, this history is the first attempt at applying a comparative approach to the plurilingual and multicultural literatures in the Iberian Peninsula. The aim of comprehensiveness is abandoned in favor of a diverse and extensive array of key issues for a comparative agenda."A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula" undermines the primacy claimed for national and linguistic boundaries, and provides a geo-cultural account of literary inter-systems which cannot otherwise be explained.

Book Synopsis Iberian Interfaces by : Antonio Sáez Delgado
Download or read book Iberian Interfaces written by Antonio Sáez Delgado and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-24 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores a key historical moment for literary and cultural relations between Spain and Portugal. Focusing on the period between 1870 and 1930, it analyses the contacts between Portuguese and Spanish writers and artists of this period, showing that, at least among the cultural elites, there were intense and fruitful dialogues across political and linguistic borders. The book presents the Iberian Peninsula as a complex and multilingual cultural polysystem in which diverse literary cultures coexist and are mutually dependent upon each other. It offers a panoramic view of Iberian literary and cultural history, encompassing not just Portuguese and Spanish literary productions, but also Catalan, Galician and Basque works. Combining a clear theoretical foundation with deep historical knowledge and references to specific texts and works, the book offers a thorough introduction to Iberian literature in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.

Book Synopsis European Regions and Boundaries by : Diana Mishkova
Download or read book European Regions and Boundaries written by Diana Mishkova and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2017-07-01 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is difficult to speak about Europe today without reference to its constitutive regions—supra-national geographical designations such as “Scandinavia,” “Eastern Europe,” and “the Balkans.” Such formulations are so ubiquitous that they are frequently treated as empirical realities rather than a series of shifting, overlapping, and historically constructed concepts. This volume is the first to provide a synthetic account of these concepts and the historical and intellectual contexts in which they emerged. Bringing together prominent international scholars from across multiple disciplines, it systematically and comprehensively explores how such “meso-regions” have been conceptualized throughout modern European history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theatre and Dictatorship in the Luso-Hispanic World explores the discourses that have linked theatrical performance and prevailing dictatorial regimes across Spain, Portugal and their former colonies. These are divided into three different approaches to theatre itself - as cultural practice, as performance, and as textual artifact - addressing topics including obedience, resistance, authoritarian policies, theatre business, exile, violence, memory, trauma, nationalism, and postcolonialism. This book draws together a diverse range of methodological approaches to foreground the effects and constraints of dictatorship on theatrical expression and how theatre responds to these impositions.

Book Synopsis Colonial Encounters in Ancient Iberia by : Michael Dietler
Download or read book Colonial Encounters in Ancient Iberia written by Michael Dietler and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the first millennium BCE, complex encounters of Phoenician and Greek colonists with natives of the Iberian Peninsula transformed the region and influenced the entire history of the Mediterranean. One of the first books on these encounters to appear in English, this volume brings together a multinational group of contributors to explore ancient Iberia’s colonies and indigenous societies, as well as the comparative study of colonialism. These scholars—from a range of disciplines including classics, history, anthropology, and archaeology—address such topics as trade and consumption, changing urban landscapes, cultural transformations, and the ways in which these issues played out in the Greek and Phoenician imaginations. Situating ancient Iberia within Mediterranean colonial history and establishing a theoretical framework for approaching encounters between colonists and natives, these studies exemplify the new intellectual vistas opened by the engagement of colonial studies with Iberian history.
